I am looking for a way of creating a "perl binary", my intention is that no one can read the scripts in a human readable way.
There is no reliable way to do this.
There is a product called perl2exe, which can make Windows executable programs out of Perl scripts, but it is not very hard to get back to regular Perl code from the file that perl2exe produces.
There is a program called perlcc which can make executables out of Perl scripts, but it should be considered experimental, and again, obscuring your program source cannot be depended upon.
If you really want to keep your code away from prying eyes, keep it on a machine where you know and trust everyone that has login access. If people can poke at your program, they can always reverse engineer it; this is generally true no matter what language you're dealing with.
